When the Christian's little day has
drown to its close, when the Christian's
earthly sun has set, then there should
be to him the beginning of a day whose
brightness shall be lessened by no in
-
,trusion of the dark. Then a day shall
break in which there shall be no anxio
ety, no eare, no sorrow, no hiding of
God's fame, no struggle with temptation,
no fall into sin; not one moment'
darkness to mingle with that unvaried

Stuart laughed a little eonstrained:y.
He was thinking of his pini e for next

could induce his cousin to be kind to
Margery. His ' inether, for some un-
aecountable reason, did not appear to
like the girl.
"We must get a native of Hurstley
to act as cicerone," he responded, break.
ing off a leaf from sheer wautonness.
"I have been away so loisg, I have al-
most forgotten my home."

am, if anything, a sportsnien."
"English to the backbone! Coosin

Is that true?" Stuart asked, gravely.

"Have no fear," the young man began,
but at that moment the dinner 'gong
sounded, and his sentence remained un-
finished.
Vane was led by her cousin, and they
were even yet more amicable during
the meal, to Mrs. Crosbie's intense sat-
isfaction. She miade no effort to inter-
rupt the merry conversation of the
young people, and contented herself
with now and then joining in the flow of
reminiscenses in which her husband and
Lady Charteris were indulging.
Squire Crosbiewas a tall, thin man
with a worn, almost haggard face. Its
prevailing expression was kindly, but
weak, and he turned instinctively to his
wife for moral support and assistance.
Stuart dearly loved his father. The gen-
tle student disposition certainly was not
in harmony with his own nature; but he
had never received aught but tender-
ness and love from his father, and grew
to think ef him as a feeble plant that
required warmth and affection tmeiour-
ish it. His feeling for his mother was en-
tirely different. He inherited his strong
spirit from her, the blood of an old
sporting family flowed in her veins. She
was a powerful domineering woman, and
Stuart had been taught to give .her
obedience rather than love. Had he been
permitted to remain always with his
mother, his nature, although in the ab-
stract as strong as hers, might -by, force
of habit have become weakened and. al-
tered; but, as soon as he had attained
his majority, he had expressed a deter-
mination to travel, and in this was sec-
onded for once most doggedly by his
father. Those two years abroad did him
an -infinite amount of good; but to Mrs.
Crosbie they did not bring unalloyed de-
liget. Her son had gone from her. a
child obedient to her will, he returned a educated her raised Margery in their
man and submissive only to his own. eyes. So the girl had received kindness,
Lady Charteris resembled her brother
the squire; but the intellectual light
that gleamed iu his eye e was altogether
wanting in hers. Her mind was evidently
fixed on her child, for even in the thick
of a conversation her gaze would wan-
der to Vane and rest on her. She was
heartily pleased now at her daughter's
brightness, and whispered many hopes to
Mrs. Crosbie that this. visit might bene-
fit the delicate nerves and health.
Mrs. Crosbie nodded absently to these
remarks. She was occupied with her °ern
thoughts. Stuart nutst marry; and whom
could he find better, search where be
might, than Vane Charteris for his wife?
Beautiful, proud, a woman who, Thad
reigned as a social queen—in every way
she was fitted to become the tnistress of
Crosbie Castle. She watched her son
eagerly, she saw the interest and admir-
ation in hie face, and her heart grew
glad. Of all things Mrs. Crosbie had
dreaded during those two years' ale
senee, the fear of an attraction or en-
tanglement had been most frequent, and
not until she saw him so wrapped up in
hIs cousin Vane did she realize indeed
that her fears bad been groundless.

"Good afternoon, madame," replied
the girl, calling Mrs. Crosbie by the
name the village always used, and bend-

Mrs. Crosbie was -nudely pleased with
herself for bringing this girl to her level,
and she was determined to lose no op-

As they stopped at the lodge gates she
turned to Margery:

tall one of the man, dainty, delicate,
lovely form in a these of ethereal blue,
holding a large sunshade of the same
color above bel- beautiful liead.
Unconsciously Margery felt her heart
sink, Never had she seen so fair a vision
before; and the sight of those two fig-
ures, so well matched and tio close to-
gether, brought a strange, vague pain to
her, the nature of which she could not
guess. She dropped lter eyes to her book
again, and shrunk back into ber corner,
hoping to escape notice. She was too
far away to hear what wee said, and she
began to breathe freely again after a few
minutes, when the faint sound of a mus-
ical laugh was borne on the air and the
tones of a deep, clear voice she knew
well came nearer and nearer, She pulled
her sunbonnet well over her eyes and
bent still lower aver her book as the
voices drew closer.
"If you are ill after this, Cowen

never forgive myself. The heat 1.s ter,

"Just as far. Well, here we are! Poor

were about six yards from Margery, and
were walking slowly. She could see the

leted hand, though she did not raise her
eyes; and she drew back into her corner
with a nervous dread such as she had
never felt hitherto.
Mr. Crosbie led hie cousin to a small
outhouse immediately facing the kitchen
door, and was about to open the door,
when, looking. round, he saw Margery.
His face flushed for an instant; then,
before his cousin could perceive it, his
embarressment was gone,
"There, Vane," he said easily, open-
ing the door and pointing to a large
cony lying on it heap of clean straw.
"Don't be afraid; he won't hurt you.
Poor Sir Charles—poor old fellow!" He
stooped and took up a bandaged paw.
"1 shall have you about in a day or
two. Ile wants some fresh water. Mar-
gery"—he left his cousin's side a little,
and looked straight at the girl sitting
up in the corner—"Margery, will you
kindly ask one of the maids to bring me
some water for Sir Charles?"
Margery put down her hook without
a word, went indoors, brought a jug,
then walked to the well a little to the
left, and:, having felled the jug, ap-
proached him.
"Thank you. Why did you trouble,
Margery?" said Stuart courteously.
"How is your mother to -day?"
"She is no better, Mr. Stuart, thank
you," returned Margery, in her clear
refined. voice. "I am waiting for some
things madame is kindly going to send
tier.'
Vane Charteris had -turned at the first
sound of the girl's voice, and she was
almost alarmed at the beauty of the
face before her. Beside the golden
glory of that hair, the depths of path-
etic splendor in those eyes, the pale
transparency of that skin, her own
prettiness simply faded away. She not-
ed the grace and ease with which Mar-
gery moved, and inunediately conceived
a violent dislike to this village girl.
"Vane, let me present to you one of
my old playfellows—Margery Daw. You
were wanting some one to point out all
the beauties of Huntley. I am sure no
one comuld do that half so well as Mar-
gery."
eliss Charteris bent her head and sein-
ed at her cousin.
"Many thanks, Stuart; but you for-
get we have planned to discover the
mysteries of the country together with-
out any assistance—a spice of adven-
ture is always charming."
Margery turned away, with a bow to
Stuart—she did not speak, or look at
his companion—and she overheard Miss
Charteris say, with a scornful laugh, as
she walked back to her seat:
"Dear Cousin Stuart, you should be
more merciful; that girl's hair is so
painfully red, it makes me quite unconi-
fortable in this heat," '-
Margery did not hear the reply—her
lipwere quivering Mid lier hands trem-
bling with mortification—and, when sho
looked up again, the housekeeper was
handing her a basket, and the cousins
were gone.
"Madame sends your mother some
beef tea, a bottle of brandy, anti rime
friiit and jelly," said the housekeeper,
closing the .basket lid. "It is rather
heavy; and tnind you carry it carefully.
Can you manage it?"
"Ye,s," said Margery steadily. "Thank
you; I am muck obliged."
She turned with her heavy load ant
walked across the court yard, her heart
no lighter than lier basket.
